clearly public opinion was going to be on obama's side if we went over there. maybe he could have gotten -- he would have had more leverage if he got over that date, but i think the good news to the extent there's good news here is you are hearing republican voices. you play gingrich, but i'm hearing republicans in the house right now who are talking more in terms of making the continuing resolution, funding the government, making that the point where they make their stand on spending cuts and not the debt ceiling, so if it's the debt ceiling and the consequence is default, it's catastrophic. it's across the board. if it's the continuing resolution and the deposit shuts down for a few days. s we've been down that road before. clinton and gingrich can certainly attest to that. i think that the lesson is, if you remember back to the clinton and gingrich showdown in 1995 and early 1996, the republican party emerged from that changed a little bit. the republican party then in the first part of 1995 was just like the republican party. total hell bent on confrontatio
